Opener makes 87 as the Chennai side amasses 208 and wins by 91 runs; Ruturaj, Dube and Dhoni also come good
Kuldeep Yadav got clobbered for the second game in a row as Delhi Capitals found itself facing a daunting task against Chennai Super Kings in its IPL game at the D.Y. Patil Stadium here on Sunday.
Aided by an enterprising 110-run partnership between the opening pair of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad, Super Kings rattled up 208 for six after being asked to bat.
Conway (87, 49b, 7x4, 5x6) continued his dream run with the bat, producing some lusty hits, while Ruturaj provided him solid support with a brisk 41 (33b, 4x4, 1x6).
Conway took a special liking for the Capitals spinners. He went down the track to hit a couple of sixes off Axar Patel during the PowerPlay.
Conway went after Kuldeep in his first over, dancing down the track to slam a six and slog-sweeping him for a six and a four.
With the ball coming on to the bat nicely, Kuldeep’s flighted deliveries were fodder for the batters and he was hit for three fours in a row in his second over.
It was Anrich Nortje who broke through, removing Ruturaj with a sharp bouncer as the opener’s pull landed in the hands of midwicket fielder Axar.
